What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and operate secure, reliable cloud-native Kubernetes platforms, with opportunities to lead GitOps delivery, SLO-based reliability practices, FinOps governance, and zero-trust security across AWS, Azure, or GCP.

I've built and operated cloud-native platforms for Truist Financial, Humana, Chewy, and Rackspace Technology, supporting financial services, healthcare, e-commerce, and managed cloud environments.

At Truist, I built a 14-account AWS platform and multi-region Amazon EKS clusters, enabled GitOps delivery for 60 microservices, and reduced EC2 spend through Karpenter spot provisioning, consolidation, and Kubecost chargeback dashboards.

I bring hands-on reliability engineering experience from HIPAA-regulated Azure AKS applications at Humana and customer-facing EKS services at Chewy, including 24/7 support, incident response, disaster recovery, SLO monitoring, and post-incident improvements.

I also build automation with Terraform, Python, Go, Ansible, and GitOps tooling while embedding security through Vault, OPA Gatekeeper, Falco, Trivy, Checkov, mTLS, and CIS hardening.
